The tool also embodies a .rench wall13. Extending longitudii'ially from the 105 member, pliers, nail extracting means, a head is the handle portion 17, the outer end punc a screw driver .and iii ping jaws of the same being hollow and tubular, but which may be also employed for twisting the theJiortion thereof at its juncture with the wire carried by the tool. A hea 8 is solid and has its outei wall prefer eferrin now to the drawings in detail ably inclined to the said tubular poi-tin,

' angularly with respect to gage with a nut or the head of a bolt. The solid portion 12 of the handle is also formed with a substantially cone-shaped opening 1S, the reduced portion of which receiving the punch G of the handle l of the blade 1, and by flaring the opening 1S it will be noted that the material severed by the punch G will find a free outlet through the said opening. The solid portion 1Q of the handle 1T between the jaw and the referred to opening 18 is formedwith depending transverse teeth 19 which are adapted to co-engage with similar teeth 19 upon the handle Je forming pincers or pliers, while the rounded walls of the heads of the device are provided with notches 20 and 21 respectively which are normally disposed out of alinement and preferably two of the walls provided b v the. said notches are sharpened, whereby when the handles are manipulated to bring the notches into alinement, the said sharpened walls provide cutting lneans for wire or the like.

Adapted to be received in the end of the hollow tubular handle 17 and to preferably engage therewith is the rounded shank 3Q of what I will term a holder member 32. This member, at the outer end thereof is bifurcated or provided with laterally extending spaced arms Bll, each. of the said arms being provided with alining openings. r)Che arms 31 may be in the'nature o spring members, and the openings 8l therein are adapted to receive a :haft or trunnion 30 arranged centrally of a spool 29, the Said spool having wound thereon a wire 33. This wire is adapted tobe drawn longitudinally of the handle 1T over a guide roller 35 that is pivotally secured to the head 8. Also pivotally secured to the head 8 or more particularly speaking to the poll 10, as at 36', is a dog 36 that has its toothed or enfaging surface 3G disposed opposite the roller 55 to force the strand of wire 33 against the said roller 35. lt will be noted, especially byl reference to F 'l0 of the drawings, that the dog 36 is pivotally secured the roller 35, so that the wire willbe permitted to move outwardly, but will be prevented from movement inwardly or in the direction of the spool 29. The member 8G is centrally provided with an elongated slot 3G which is struck concentrically from the pivot 36 and within which is arranged :i compression spring 36C, while the numeral 3G indicates a stud wh' h is formed upon the head S and which piojects within the slot 1lb", the spring between one of the the .slot 36"" and the 36C exerting a pressure end walls provided by stud 36d, to normally bringthe engaging or toothed surface 3G of the dog 3G into proper position with relation to the strand otl wire Bil'and the roller 35. The dog 3G as well as the roller 35 have arranged thereover a closure plate 36e.

f scribed. Formed with 1n order to prevent the free turning of the spool upon the member 32, I provide a braking means which is perferably in the nature of a spring member shaped to include a rounded end 26 which is arranged over the spool and which is adapted to be brought into frictional contact with the spool, the pressure of the said lContact being regulated in a manner which will presently be dethe rounded end 26 is the angular body portion :25 of the device, and extending from the said angular portion 25 isastraight portion 25 that terminates in spaced angular lugs adapted to be received in suitable depressions in the hollow handle 17, while the strand of the wire 33 is designed to pass bef tween the said lugs. ln order to facilitate the free passage of the said strand of wire, the straight portion 25 between the angular' portions or lugs :2l at the end thereof is rounded or bulged outwardly, as at '25, for the length of the said straight portion 25. In order to secure the brake member upon the handle 17 and also to regulate the ten sion with which the rounded end thereof engages with the spool, I. said handle a sleeve 27 which overlies the straight portion Q5 of the brake device and which being slidable upon the. handle, may be brought to engage with the annular por tion 25 of the said brake so as to force the rounded portion 2G thereof into frictional contact with the spool Q9 or, of course, when the sleeve 27 is moved in an opposite direction or toward the head of the device, the rounded portion of the brake may be permitted to swing away from the spool, as shown by both the full and dotted lines in 1 (if the drawings. The hollow portion 17 of the handle may be employed as a compartment for suitable articles to be used with the tool, such as brads, staples or similar devices.

rlhe sleeve 27 preferably has its bore flared at the end thereof disposed adjacent to the angular portion 25 of the brake meniber, so that a comparatively slight longitudinal movement of the sleeve in the direction of the brake will result in forcing the rounded end of the brake into tight engagement with the periphery of the spool.

Having thus described the invention, what l claim is:

1. ln a combination tool, substantially as herein described, two pivoted members. one including a hollow handle, of a spool hav-- ing i'vire wound therearound, a holder member for the spool received within and closing the outer end of the hollow handle, guide means for the wire, means for preventing thc movement of the wire in one direction, and brake means for the spool. Y

Q. In a combination tool, including two pivoted members, each provided with co- 24, and these lugs are arrange upon the acting jaws and each provided with handles, the spool, said body having its opposite end one of said handles being hollow, of a wire connected With the handle, a longitudinally carrying spool' having trunnions, a support movable member having a liared bore upon for the spool upon which the trunnions are the handle and receiving the spring body oi journaled, said -support frictionally engagthe brake, whereby to engage with and coni- -ing in and closing the end of the hollow press the body to iorce the curved end of andle, a roller at one end of the tool over the brake to contact with the periphery of 40 which 'the wire is guided, a spring pressed -the spool or to permit of said end springing member disposed opposite the roller and away from such engagement with the spool.
